race rims info please!
« on: August 22, 2008, 10:31 AM »
Im having some race wheels built up... with ALienation 440 rims...  and the question I need answered is ... Im having a black front rim.. and on the rear should I go for
a black rim
a black rim with machined sidewall
or a chrome rim

also - would a ProperBike Co 36 hole sealed  front hub be ok for racing? what do you think? I'll be runing a v brake - so am thinking machined sidewall black rim might be best?

Personally, I'd go for 2 black rims.

Are you building up a new school race bike Steve?  Be good to see you at some of the races.

So do you think a rear machined sidewall best, or just plain black?

Both rims all black.  Let the brake pads do the machining  ;)

Or go for machined walls front and rear if you want matching.

 :) Just watch the axle length on the front hub,as freestyle hub axles are usually longer than those on race hubs.You don`t want an axle that looks wack on a tasty racebike!

So what are you building then Steve, Old school cool or new school cool.

And are you actually going to race it in the south series?
